WordWrap
property for PowerScript controls
Applies to
RichTextEdit controls
Description
WordWrap determines how a rich text control displays large blocks of
text that do not contain spaces or other word-breaking characters (tab
characters or end-of-line markers, but not hyphens). If the last word in a
block of text is too large to fit on a line when WordWrap is enabled, the
rich text control splits the word and displays the nonfitting characters
on the following line.
When WordWrap is disabled, users cannot enter characters (other than
word-breaking characters) beyond the right margin, and must move the
cursor to a new line to continue entering text. If a document is inserted
when WordWrap is disabled, and the document conatins a block of text too
large to fit on a line, the rich text control hides the nonfitting
characters, even when the text eventually breaks to a new line because of
a space or other word-breaking character. .
WordWrap can be enabled or disabled by the user at runtime from the
Properties item on the pop-up menu when the PopMenu property is enabled.
If characters from an inserted text are hidden because WordWrap is
disabled, and the user subsequently enables WordWrap, the hidden
characters will be displayed on the next line of the rich text control. If
the same text is inserted when WordWrap is enabled, and the user
subsequently disables WordWrap, the rich text control hides previously
visible characters that had wrapped to the next line.
